Massage is only one aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but it’s an effective one. It can be used to improve specific problems or for general relaxation and feelings of well-being. TCM massage helps create balance between the mind and the body. For specific problems, several treatments or sessions may be required. Your TCM Doctor will make the right recommendations. Your personal bedtime massage will be designed primarily for relaxation and to relieve any remnants of jet lag. The TCM massage is a deeper massage than most western techniques, and may sometimes feel rougher. To experience a TCM massage makes the trip worthwhile.
Before the Massage Therapists arrive at your room, take a hot shower and
dress in a robe or loose fitting clothing.
Traveler's Tip:
If you are a large person, the terry-cloth robes that the hotel provides may not be large enough, so consider bringing your own robe or sweat suit.
